COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
“Best Fruit Wheat Beer 2012 Ohio Brew Week”
An American wheat ale that has a dry, tart finish. A ½ pound of raspberries are added during the fermentation process to each gallon of beer that was brewed. This is a light bodied, thirst quenching ale.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a clear orange color with a compact off-white head that diminishes to nothing quickly. Thin top ring of lacing on the glass with spots underneath. Light raspberry aroma with notes of malt. Light body with a raspberry and wheat character and touches of malt underneath. The finish is short and fruity. Overall it is not worth coming back to this beer for any reason.

Sample at the brewpub on 9/20/13. Clear yellow in color with a thick white head. Aroma consisting of raspberry jam, pale malt and wheat. Raspberry flavor giving way to creamy wheat before a crisp finish.

On tap at the MBC. At first glance, this beer appears to be some light beer that only an unadventurous redneck would even bother with, but upon further inspection, it is plain that this beer is meant for a person that likes raspberry...a lot. Luckily, I am one of those people. This beer reminds me a great deal of a dry raspberry wine but with notes of wheat beer. All in all, not a beer to drink several of, but definitely one suited for a pint glass or maybe even a snifter.

Clear straw color with no head or lace, very still. Wheat and raspberry in the taste says it all - solid from start to finish with no growth, change, or hop presence. In spite of that, quite drinkable as a summer ade.

July 17-19, 2008: Marietta Raspberry Wheat is hazy and has a deep golden color. The aroma has some red raspberry. The flavor is well-balanced between wheat malt and fresh raspberry. It has an average palate, but is pretty good overall.

On Tap during Ohio Brew Week in Athens at O’Hooley’s - Pours cloudy pinkish golden with not much head at all. Aromas of light raspberry and some yeasty bread. Flavor is a yeasty base that is complimented pretty well with nice fresh raspberry flavor. Palate is light and not much carbonation. Refreshing.
